DIY Fish Tank Stand and New Cichlid 75 gallon Tank Setup

I upgraded my 40 gallon African Cichlid tank to a 75 gallon. I needed a custom size stand, that I ended up having to build. I know its kind of a long video, but I wanted viewers to get an idea of how I build it. There is video at the end. If you have any questions please ask, and feel free to give me a good rating, this was a lot of work :)
If there is enough interest, I will make a video of the canopy build

@EQRELH lol I clearly titled and explained what I was doing in text at the very beginning of the video. If you like, you can file a claim with Youtube, and they will give you the 4 minutes of your life back. Ive got some other great videos of me not building a fish tank also if you would like to watch them :) Thanks for watching

Great video. I'm thinking of making a 9 ft long stand for my new fish tank, and this has given a good start to how i can construct it. Thank You! :)

I am purchasing a 70 gallon tank (rectangle). I would like to put 2 oscars in the tank. I am new to fish tanks and what they need. If you could break down all the essentials for a successful tank I would appreciate it. Include everything because I do not know much about fish or the setup. Thank you. If you dont respond I understand. thanks

An excellent video! I don't think the term over engineered means anything to you with regards to the wood in the stand but I suppose you can have absolute confidence that it will survive a medium sized airstrike! I wish I had the time, patience and know how for a project like this. Well done
